Terra Vive doesn't look like much from the outside, on a street lined with similar looking motels. But it is easy to find, with easy free parking. Our Deluxe Shower Studio was very nicely furnished and quite large, even with the inclusion of well-organized kitchenette facilities and washer and dryer (especially useful after a day of tramping in the rain!)....

The rooms are modern and very clean, but quite small for an apartment. Needed to get a moden from reception for the internet then found it not very reliable - as a business apartment I would have thought the broadband facilities would be seamless. Nice, helpful reception staff and good location (once the roadworks outside are finished - these made... More

We stayed only 1 night. The room was large, comfortable and exceptionally well fitted out with large TV and mini kitchen, king bed, lounge, small private courtyard & roomy modern bathroom. I would thoroughly recommend this place. Good value. A great dinner at Baileys Hotel is just a good block walk away. Location & parking are both good. Have breakfast... More

We stayed here the night before we left new Zealand. The manager was kind and let us have a late check out. Unfortunately no wifi, but wired Internet was available. Great large screen tv, tv's in bedrooms too. Would recommend as a base for Christchurch.

This is a great little motel, walking distance from everything in Christchurch (at least, everything that's left in Christchurch). The room was very cosy, comfortable and stylishly decorated. The owner was also very helpful, loaned us an umbrella, stocked us up with maps and even provided a few snacks to take along with us. My only gripe is that the... More

We had booked direct as it was our sons graduation and the owner said we could have the room but would have to book for three nights. Which was fine.There was my husband and myself and my daughter and we had a large room with a fold down couch. It turned out my motherinlaw was able to come so we... More

On arrival at the Terra Vive we were 3 hours early for check in. Despite this, the owners checked if our room was ready and let us check in early at no extra cost. Great start! But then we had to lug out 20kg cases up a flight of stairs to our room, not so great after 36 hours of... More
